Editorial Reviews

Review

Kirkus Reviews:
In this sci-fi debut, an alien species hopes to claim Earth, but the invaders haven't fully researched what goes bump in
the night.
At NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, astrophysicist Jean-François receives some exciting data in the middle of
the night. His theory that an interstellar vessel has been using wormholes to visit Earth for the last 50 years now seems
irrefutable. Yet his boss, Raymond Saticoy, wants physical proof of aliens before telling the president. Meanwhile,
President Michael Addison greases palms at a fundraiser at the Watergate Hotel. With him are the lovely first lady,
Laurel, and his no-nonsense vice president, Peyton Willis. What neither politician realizes, however, is that Laurel slays
vampires on the side, doing her best to clear Washington, D.C., of bloodsuckers. Her nemesis is Julius, a nearly
3,000-year-old vamp who tonight has chosen the sweet young Mary to feast upon. They leave a bar in southeast Georgia
and stroll toward the Heartsoot Creek Cemetery. When he finally pops his fangs into her neck, her true form of a
"bug-eyed, insect-like creature" stands revealed. She escapes through a wormhole, leaving Julius speechless. And what
does any of this craziness have to do with AWOL Pvt. Johnny Kester? By the time Johnny witnesses a nearby military
base explode, Abugov has readers firmly in the grip of his absurd, satisfying creature-fest. Fans of Buffy the Vampire
Slayer should adore Laurel, and those cringing at the current state of the world may chuckle when Addison says, "I got
all these nukes. Such a pity I can't use them." As the aliens attack, causing quick, massive casualties, Willis tells the
nation, "There are no countries anymore. Just us, and them." The author maximizes the carnage when alien goop infects
people, turning them into the walking dead. Dinosaurs, appearing in only brief interludes except at the finale, prove the
ultimate narrative wild card. The most engaging aspect of this gonzo mash-up is seeing which characters rise to the
occasion and which end up with their "vital digestive organs" yanked free.
A chaotic, full-throttle parody that's as smart as it is slimy.

Amazing Story

Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2024

BLUF: Highly recommend.
This book wasn't laugh out loud funny, but it was extremely fun to read. Every chapter was a page turner. There are MANY characters in this book, and I had to reread some previous chapters to familiarize myself, but it was worth it. I especially loved the ending. This book will be on my reread list!
Bottom Line: I recommend.

Different plus entertaining

Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2018

I was wondering how everyone, especially the dinosaurs, would be tied into one book, but Jeff Abugov managed it in a most interesting & entertaining way. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I was able to leave it without reading it was long periods of time, which I'm unable to do with my 5 star books. No complaint about the writing style, it's just that there were enough pauses in the book, before going on to the next chaos [which happens naturally when so many types of characters are fighting for survival], that I was able to take a deep breath & close my kindle. For some, with a busier life, that would be a blessing, not a lesser rating. The ending was very satisfying, though we had to say goodbye to a couple favorite characters, though there is a twist that surprised me which hardly never happens. Overall, a very good read, if you want to escape from reality & the daily headlines.

Well written fun creature feature

Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2016

Verified Purchase

I love creature features (James Rollins, Jeremy Robinson, Steve Alten, etc.) and urban fantasy (think Patricia Briggs, Jennifer Estep, and Ilona Andrews), books filled with vampires, werewolves, witches, and giant monsters, they are without a doubt, my favorite go to reading material when I need to smile and laugh gleefully. This for me is a fantastic fun book, I loved it, everything worked so well and made sense. I honestly was not expecting much, but the story 100% delivered on everything. I had no idea how the writer would bring the end of the world, vampires, zombies, dinosaurs and aliens together, but he did, seamlessly. Everything gelled and worked. I couldn't put it down and there was enough character development to satisfy me. It was quick paced and easy to read.

I loved how the vampires and zombies saved the world, and then the dinosaurs saved the world as well in their own way. I honestly can not say enough good things about this book. I normally hate stories featuring zombies, but the way they were used had me cheering them on, and then the dinosaurs and how they were used, perfect, never expected it. So many innovative and surprising twists. Whether a sequel will ever be written, I do not know, but maybe? Hopefully? I'll buy it it there is. If Hollywood ever made a film of this and devoted to it the quality production values to make it realistic, it would do great at the box office.

This book is okay. The premise of aliens coming to destroy mankind encountering supernatural creatures and dinosaurs a good. My main problem was there was just too much in here. I would have liked it better if the writer focused on vampires and zombies. I also felt there were too many characters. It is funny the early the aliens react to the vampires and zombies.

Crazy Title but one of the most FUN books I've read in a very long time!

Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2018

Verified Purchase

Other reviewers have explained this novel more elegantly than I can, but I wanted to add my vote of excellence to the author. I can't read a book a day nor read in one sitting like so many other folks do. It takes me about a week to finish a book. I read this one in 3 days, even deliberately putting it down at times so I wouldn't finish it...because I wanted to see what happens, but hated to finish it because it was so much fun to read! If that makes sense! How this author pulled all the characters together is simply genius. Fun story, characters you care about, chaos, mystical creatures, yet it all comes together so that the reader even gets to know the dinosaurs! I've been talking to avid reader co-workers and now they want to read this as well. This is the kind of novel you wish you hadn't yet read just so you could start at the beginning and not know what a gift of a good time you've just opened!

Don't be put off by the title. Although accurate, the book is really better than you'd think.

A fun adventure! I know... the title can be a put off. I mean really? This reminds me of the 1996 Tim Burton movie "Mars Attacks!" starring Jack Nicholson and a host of others. It is campy, spoofy, and... darn good actually. One thing it is not, is horror, despite its name.

This is an action adventure with a rapidly rising body count. Don't get too comfortable with many of the characters. There is palpable tension throughout, heroism, surprises, cliff hangers, and a good serving of comic relief. This is especially true when the dinosaurs are named Dinah, Daffy, and Donald... and they end up being one of the saviors of humanity.

Speaking of humanity, who knew that vampires would step up to the plate? And the Zombies? Well, they are just zombies... that go a long way to saving mankind.

This was a good book, that I enjoyed immensely. Don't be put off by the title. Although accurate, the book is really better than you'd think.

Zombies versus Aliens versus Vampires versus Dinosaurs
Zombies vs. Aliens vs. Vampires vs. Dinosaurs by Jeff Abugov is the most fun I've had reading a book in a while. Jeff Abugov is a creative genius in coming up with this plot and I had no idea how he was going to write his characters out of all the seemingly impossible difficulties they found themselves immersed in.

Okay...so the author basically has four different story lines which you can figure out from the title...zombies, aliens, vampires and dinosaurs. Each have their own thing going on and seem totally irrelevant from one another. They are great stores in themselves but when they intersect one another...look out!!!

I read this book so quickly because I couldn't wait to see what Abugov would come up with next! This tale is unbelievably and creatively a blast to read! I totally recommend this one to those who like some comedy and clever dialogue along with cool characters that do not do the expected plus a dose of horror mashed together into one terrific story.

Cheers to you, Jeff Abugov! I'm so glad I found this book, will read it again and look for more from you.
